A Lil' Fall at the Farmhouse...

I hope the weather is as delightful at your place as it has been here.  The days are simply perfect right now - 65 to 75 degrees - light breeze, plenty of sunshine - well, simply perfect.  Today while I was outside I snapped a few pictures of things that I'm loving right now. 

 

First things first - this GLORIOUS maple tree.  It is the tree I see when I wake up in the morning -  outside my bedroom window - it's over next to the cabin.

 

As you can see - we have started to landscape a bit - still no mulch and we are still missing two porch railings - but hey we are getting there.  I can't believe we've been here nearly a year and still have MUCH to do!

 

This picture gives you a better idea of where the cabin is located.  For those of you checking in for the first time - this was my late FIL's cabin - a place he dearly loved.  It is on the historical register - nearly 200 years old and has military significance.  I'll share all about it with you sometime.

 

 

My in-laws built on to it after restoring the main cabin.  You can see a small kitchen addition in the back.  A lot of great family memories have been made here.  Right now we roast lots of marshmallows around the fire pit - mmmmmm. 

 

 

Just past the cabin in the back is an old barn - a reeeeaaaally old barn.  It needs repair and we'll get to it someday but I still love the way it looks.

 

 

The barn quilt on this barn is called "Glitter, Glitter."

 

 

The sky was beautiful.

 

 

 Out my kitchen window - up on the hill - is the old chicken house and shed.  I love red barns, blue skies and green grass.

 

 

At the entry - I used an old stock tank we had to plant flowers in.

 

 

 It is filled with mums, sweet potato vine, plectranthus and ornamental millet, oh and a pumpkin of course.

 

Another washtub filled with ornamental cabbage and kale and Jade Princess Millet.

 

 

And if you aren't growing these ornamental beauties - you should!  Just sayin'

 

 

 

Have a Happy Fall Day!
